Hi

I'm brand new to this vintage watch thing. Have bought a few watches and am finding out about it all and experiencing dealing with restorers. Loving it!

What I am having real trouble finding, though, is original replacement straps for watches I have bought without them. In particular at the moment I am looking for steel bracelets for Favre Leuba and Bulova that are stamped with the company name or logo. I am obviously keeping an eye out on ebay, but any tips on where else to look/ find them, will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I think eBay is your only bet. Most straps & bracelets are long gone! A have a few lether ones if you like I can check to see, what strap size?

Thanks, but it really is the steel originals that I'm after.
